  • so by my calculation David was about 20 yrs. old when this was recorded. He had the same fire that came to fantastic maturity, this is a wonderful treat for us Ruffin fans, Thank you so much! keep up the good work, you have a wonderful channel

  • @TheMackado thank you and subscribe i have some more of his earlier records I'm going to upload soon as i the time to edit them.

  • Do you have the other side of this which is the original version of Statue of A Fool?

  • @extinct327 no... I never knew it was an original version...so David really did write that song? i will look around for it

  • @a1992aron

    i'm not sure if he wrote it but there is a version that was on the b-side of mr bus driver that came out before the other version ruffin did

  • @extinct327 wow this is very interesting but im going to look on i tunes....He had to write this because this was recorded in 60-61 and he said he wrote it in 58 wooooooooooow im just really amazed and the guy they said wrote it version didn't come out until the late 60's.

  • @a1992aron

    yeah david ruffin is my favorite singer so i've been looking for all his rare records...i just purchased the 45 with Actions Speak Louder Than Words and You Can Get What I Got from 61...i can't seem to find another one of his early songs called Knock You Out With Love though

  • @extinct327 i found Knock You Out With Love and You Can Get What I Got i will upload those two songs asap

  • @a1992aron

  • @extinct327 go to iTunes and just type in the best of checkmate it should pop right up or just type in the names of the songs
